*your question doesn't really make sense... but if you mean what does the following distance when driving means... it is 2 seconds (at least) behind the car you are following. when the car in front of you passes a post etc count and see if it takes you at least 2 seconds to pass the same object at the same point of your car... hope that helps :)
Points: (1, -2) and (1, -5) Distance: 3 units by using the distance formula
distance = speed x time 10 x 3 = 30 meters
The distance is 3.
There is a distance of 3 between -3 and 0.
To get the speed in such cases, divide the distance by the time. In this case, the answer will be in meters per second.
The technique used for determining the proper following distance is the "3- second" rule.
6-8 second

have time to react and avoid a collision.
Yes, using either the 2-second rule or the 3-second rule means that as your driving speed increases, you leave more distance between you and the car ahead of you.
Following distance is typically measured in seconds. A common rule of thumb is the "3-second rule" where you should leave at least 3 seconds of following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. To measure this, pick a stationary object on the side of the road, wait for the vehicle ahead of you to pass it, and then count how many seconds it takes for you to pass the same object.
Following distance is the space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you while driving. Maintaining a safe following distance allows you more time to react to sudden stops or changes in traffic situations, helping to prevent rear-end collisions. The general rule is to keep at least a 3-second distance in good weather conditions, and more in adverse conditions.
6-8 seconds
speed = distance/time = 3/2.4 = 1.25 distance units/second
3 Seconds
The 3 second rule (sometimes it's a 2 second rule) refers to the spacing a vehicle should maintain when following another vehicle, regardless of speed. The theory is that the faster the vehicles are traveling, the greater the margin of safety (spacing or distance) between the vehicles will be.
Yes, in the context of driving, when applying the 3-Second Rule, you should choose a fixed or stationary object on the road ahead. This helps you maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle in front of you by ensuring that you have at least a 3-second gap between your vehicle and the one in front.
